Overview
Brief Summary
The study primarily aims to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of influenza vaccines (cell culture derived seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine (cTIV) or influenza virus vaccine (egg-derived seasonal trivalent, thiomersal free; eTIV_a)) when administered alone and when administered concomitantly with pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PV) in elderly subjects. The study also aimed to evaluate safety and immunogenicity (subset) of annual vaccination with either cTIV or eTIV_a in adults and elderly subjects.

Exclusion Criteria
- •receipt of another investigational agent within 90 days prior to, or before completion of the safety follow-up period in another study, whichever is longer, prior to Visit 7 and unwilling to refuse participation in another clinical study through the end of the present study
- •history of any anaphylaxis, serious vaccine reactions, or allergy to any of the vaccine components

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Randomized Participants Reporting Local and Systemic Reactions.
Time Frame: One week postvaccination
Safety and tolerability evaluation of influenza vaccines, within one week of single intramuscular injection. Local reactions reported for Influenza Vaccine Injection site.
Immunogenicity Assessment by Geometric Mean Titers (GMT).
Time Frame: Three weeks postvaccination
Non-inferiority of the influenza vaccine FLU (cell-culture derived seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine (cTIV); and influenza virus vaccine (egg-derived seasonal trivalent, thiomersal free; eTIV_a)) when administered alone versus administered concomitantly with pneumococcal vaccine (FLU + PV) is met if lower limit of the 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) of postvaccination (Day 22) Geometric Mean Titer ratio (FLU+PV/FLU) is greater than 0.5.
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Randomized Participants Reporting Local and Systemic Reactions.(One week postvaccination)
- Number of Subjects With Antibody Response as Assessed by Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay.(Three weeks postvaccination)
- Number of Unrandomized Participants Reporting Local and Systemic Reactions.(One week postvaccination)
- Geometric Mean Ratio (GMR Day 22/Day1) After Single Dose of Influenza Vaccine.(Three weeks postvaccination)
